Hydro-Québec Lands 88-MW Green Hydrogen Deal with Thyssenkrupp – The Energy Mix: Provincial utility Hydro-Québec has signed a deal with a division of Essen, Germany-based industrial conglomerate Thyssenkrupp to build one of the world’s biggest green hydrogen plants, an 88-megawatt facility in Varennes that will produce 11,100 tonnes of the product per year.

The big electrolyser will run on electricity from the province’s network of hydropower dams, CNBC reports.

Keystone Decision Triggers Calls for More Pipeline Cancellations [Sign-ons] – The Energy Mix: With the spotlight now moving to Trans Mountain, “the facts alone

from our closest economic ally could be,” Canadian Oil and Gas Program
Director Sven Biggs wrote in a fundraising email. So “this is a critical
moment to get ahead of [Alberta Premier Jason] Kenney and his fossil
fuel friends who are spewing lies that the Trans Mountain pipeline is
now needed more than ever.”

Stand and Dogwood BC cited analysis from the Canada Energy Regulator showing no need for either the Keystone or the Trans Mountain projects.
